House, Senate Will Review Liquor Report
Topeka, March 1—U(P) — A joint legislative committeeman said today the Kansas liquor-control bill, revised and approved in conference committee, would reach the floor of the state legislature this afternoon.
The liquor-control bill, which would make possession and use of whisky legal immediately in long-dry Kansas, ran into a bottleneck the past week when the senate refused to accept house amendments to its measure. The bill was sent to conference committee.
Voting on the length report of a five-man joint house-senate committee was not expected, however, before tomorrow. The committeeman predicted passage of the law, barring the unforeseen, on Wednesday.
One five-man joint committee threw up its hands after three days of debate, and declared it could not find a compromise. A second committee was named.
Today one of the members of the second committee, asking that his name not be used, said a compromise had been reached "on all big issues." He said the committee would meet again at 10 a.m. today to iron out details, and predicted the committee's report would reach the floors of both the senate and house this afternoon.
The committeeman indicated the conferees had approved the senate's version of liquor revenue distribution. The senate had asked that 80 per cent of a $1 gallonage tax go to the state, 20 per cent to local governments. The house had asked 50-50 division.
He also said, that a strict local option provision in the house-passed measure had been "tempered" in committee.
Clarinetist Gives Recital
Rv ANN ALLEN
"Sonata in F minor, No. 1" by Brahms, was the most popular number on the program presented by Mrs. Shirley Sloan Kassinger, clarinetist, in her senior recital Monday.

piano. The clarinet is not usually a solo instrument. However, Mrs. Kassinger played with remarkable ability, and produced soft tones that were full and well controlled.

Numbers on the program were:
"Concerto for Clarinet, Op. 107"
(Mozart); "Sonata in F minor No. 1,
Opus 102" (Brahms); "Sonate Pour
Deux Clarinettes" (Poulenc); "Two
Pieces for Clarinet" (Stravinsky);

Betas Vote Caesar 'Out'
Caeser has gone on one barking binge too many.
After his "arrest" Monday for blocking a doorway, Caeser, great Dane mascot of Beta Theta Pi social fraternity, was blackballed from the fraternity.
Jack C. Stewart, College senior,
said the Beta's have not decided
just what they will do with the
dog, but they know he must
either be sold or sent off some-
where. They have not considered
a replacement for Caeser.
"We've had about enough dog for awhile," Stewart said.
Captain Hodges Visits Campus
A former University student who was in charge of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's guard of honor in Tokyo is back in Lawrence visiting relatives and friends.
Capt. Warren D. Hodges, a student in '43, is on a 6-day change of station leave after spending 32 months in Tokyo with the occupation forces. He has been assigned duty at Ft. Lewis, Wash.
"In Japan my job was the security of the commander-in-chief and any guests he had in the embassy," Captain Hodges explained. He had charge of more than 270 persons including guards, embassy staff, and chauffeurs.
"From outward appearances there is no hatred or empathy toward the American forces," he said.
"The Japanese have accepted the occupation with a great deal of reality," Captain Hodges said. "They realize they have a job to do and are working to get it done," he added.
Captain Hodges, who lettered in football in '41 and '42, was a freshman teammate of Ray Evans. He said it was good to see some of his old friends and professors at the University again. Commenting on the University, he said that it looked like the same old thing, except there was more of it.
Northern Demos Attempt To Gag Filibuster
Southerners protested today against the administration plan to try to force an early end to senate anti-filibuster debate.
U. P. Congressional Roundup
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D.-Ga.), spokesman for the southern bloc, said any attempt to cut short the discussion would be "premature, as there is much ground to be covered."
Senate Democratic Leader Scott W. Lucas, of Illinois, told newsmen that he will file a "cloture" or gag motion Thursday which, if allowed by vice-president Alben W. Barkley, could bring the administration's anti-filibuster proposal to early vote.
Other Congressional Developments:
Labor"The house labor committee meets today to plan its procedure for considering legislation to repeal the Taft-Hartley act. The committee will have to decide: (1) if it should hold hearings; and (2) if it should bring out its labor proposals in "one-package" or "two-package" legislation.
Economic—Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.) and some other Democrats on the joint congressional economic committee apparently are making a successful fight to "tone down" the committee's report about economic legislation. They do not want the committee to recommend the enactment of specific anti-inflation legislation. They feel the report should be confined to a discussion of the economic situation "in general terms".
Little Man On Campus
Social Security—The house ways and means committee still has to be convinced that President Truman's new help-the-needy program is necessary.
Foreign Aid—Chairman Tom Connally, (D.-Tex.) said his senate foreign relations committee may approve a token cut—$25,000,000 or so"—in proposed administration spending for foreign aid.
